Polytechnic college jodhpur review

The course curriculum at Government Polytechnic College Jodhpur follows the structure set by the Board of Technical Education, Rajasthan (BTER). While it covers the core subjects required for a diploma, its overall relevance to modern industry is limited and the content often feels outdated.

My college offers internship opportunities, but the exposure is fairly limited. Most of the internships are arranged through faculty contacts rather than a structured placement cell. Students usually become eligible from the second year, but the number of companies visiting specifically for internships is quite small. Some local companies in IT services, small manufacturing units, and startups occasionally offer roles like technical assistant, data entry support, basic software testing, or field survey intern. The stipend varies widely; in many cases, internships are unpaid or provide a small amount mainly to cover travel expenses.

Government Polytechnic College Jodhpur does not have a strong campus placement system. In most years, very few companies visit, and many branches do not get any meaningful campus recruitment. Because of this, students mostly rely on off-campus opportunities, referrals, or plan to continue higher studies. Placement Eligibility Students are generally considered placement-eligible from: 5th semester onward But the number of companies actually visiting is limited, so eligibility hardly matters. Companies That Visit In some years, a few local or small-scale companies visit for basic technical roles or internships, but: No major core companies No big IT recruiters No MNC participation Because the visits are inconsistent, the number of offers varies widely and is usually very low.

The “After 10th Diploma” (i.e. standard 3-year diploma) at GPC Jodhpur has a total tuition-fee listed as ? 33,900 for the full course. For girl students, a fee structure mentioned elsewhere shows ? 7,150 per annum (i.e. ? 21,450 for full 3-years) — but this seems to refer to some concession or different scheme. Additional one-time or extra charges listed (for boys) include: Caution Deposit: ? 1,000 Admission Fee: ? 200 For students under “NBA-accredited syllabus” — an additional ? 3,000 per year is mentioned.

The classrooms are very outdated, with broken boards and old-fashioned infrastructure. The blackboards in many rooms are damaged and feel like they belong to a much older era. Classroom facilities are poorly maintained, and even basic things like boards are in bad condition. The teaching environment feels old and worn out, as most classrooms still use decades-old boards and setups.

I currently stay in the college hostel, and the overall experience has been quite challenging. The rooms come with the basic essentials like a bed, a study table, and a cupboard, but the condition of the furniture is quite poor. Many beds are old and not well-maintained, which affects comfort. The biggest issue is the water supply. At times, the drinking water has an unpleasant smell, which makes it difficult to trust its quality. The bathroom area is also a problem because running water is not always available, and this disrupts daily routines. Cleanliness is another concern since the hostel is not cleaned regularly, which leads to an unhygienic environment overall. Meal: We cook ourselves there is no any message in the hostel.

To be honest, I did not choose Government Polytechnic College Jodhpur because it aligned with my long-term goals. I am a JEE aspirant, so my real aim has always been to pursue engineering through the JEE route. However, due to parental pressure and practical considerations, I had to join this college as a temporary path. My parents preferred a government institute over private colleges because of affordability and the stability associated with government-recognized diplomas.

Government Polytechnic College Jodhpur has a moderate faculty-to-student ratio, but the actual experience varies by department. In general, students feel that faculty members are not very approachable and the level of support outside the classroom is limited. Many students mention that teachers do not focus much on practical learning or skill development, which affects the overall academic experience. Since individual teachers’ names can vary by batch, the overall sentiment from students is that the teaching quality is inconsistent and most classes rely heavily on theory rather than hands-on understanding. Faculty-Student Relationship The faculty-student relationship is generally formal. Students often feel that teachers are not very available for doubts or extra help, and the teaching style is mostly traditional. Many students report that they need to rely on self-study, YouTube tutorials or seniors for understanding practical subjects. Course Structure The diploma curriculum is set by BTER (Board of Technical Education, Rajasthan). Key points: The syllabus is mostly theoretical. Practical labs are part of the structure, but many students say the practical learning is weak because the equipment is outdated or not used regularly. The curriculum has not been updated frequently, so its relevance to modern industry is limited. Exam System BTER conducts centralized semester or yearly exams (depending on batch). The pattern usually includes: Theory exams Practical exams Internal assessments (sometimes inconsistent depending on department)

I didn’t face any Group Discussion or Interview for my admission. The college follows a very simple admission process where seats are mostly allotted based on the application form and previous academic marks. There was no written test either. The entire process is more about document verification than evaluating a student’s skills. The criteria mainly included submitting my Class 10 and 12 mark sheets, identity proof, photos and filling out the basic registration form. After that, the college confirmed the seat without any extra screening. Since there were no GDs, interviews, or tests, there wasn’t anything specific to prepare for. The admission was purely administrative, so once the documents were ready, the process was straightforward.

Nightlife around Government Polytechnic College Jodhpur is very quiet. The campus and nearby areas do not have the kind of late-night life you’d expect around big universities. Most activity shuts down early, so students usually return to their rooms or pass time in small groups. Campus Closing Times Library: Usually closes by evening; no late-night study space available Cafeteria / Canteen: Closes in the late afternoon; no evening or night service Public areas: Students use them casually in the daytime, but nothing is open late Gym: There is no dedicated college gym functioning at night
